Daniel Lacy Obituary

August 19, 1989 - April 5, 2019 Danny (May) Lacy is survived by loving parents, Julia Duffy and Jerry Lacy and devoted sister Kerry Lacy. Danny was considered one of the funniest students of the Agoura High School class of 2007, and went on to make a career in comedy, acting, animation and writing. Danny appeared in several TV movies and created, wrote and designed all the characters as well as voicing several of them in the animated series Crack-Duck, a Mondo Media show that aired on Adult Swim and still draws millions of viewers online. In addition to acting and voice-over work, Danny co-authored and illustrated the book At Least You're Not These Monsters, and was well known to improv audiences as a graduate of Second City, The Groundlings, and UCB improv programs. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donation to NAMI.

Dear Julie, Jerry, and Kerry, we have such warm memories of you and Danny when we all were neighbors, with Katy and Kerry in their 2 and 3 year old Halloween costumes (bunny rabbit and chicken!) and Danny as a gorgeous, auburn-haired infant and toddler, and lovely Mary coming over for a tea party on one of her visits, and the Fourth of July parades at your house. Happy times we will always remember. Much love to you all, and deepest condolences from Cece, Kim, Katy and Madelyn

Love and prayers to Juila and her family. She's brought me enough smiles in my lifetime that this just doesn't seem 'fair'. In times like these you just have to BELIEVE that there IS a plan for everything and every one.

As a neighbor of Danny's for 6+ years I remember him as beautiful, articulate and talented. I miss seeing his Bernie bumper sticker. I remember how he once stopped in the driveway because a cat was lounging in the middle of it... just waiting there for the cat to move. I appreciated how open he was in sharing the process of cartoon and stop-motion animation. My heart goes out to all who knew him and to his family who lent him to us. May he rest.

I'm so sorry; my heart goes out to you for your loss. There are no words to express our sadness when a love one passes but our loving God knows how you feel and comforts us with His word. (John 6:40 NWT)
